You and your companion need to assess when and why horse is kicking. Is it right when you load up, begin the truck.When you make sense of that, you can begin helping the stallion.May be horse has some problem. You should also probably talk to your friend about helping you pay for the cost of repairing the trailer. You should at least be charging for gas until her horse is more pleasant to trailer!

It's not a stallion. Crabby mare who doesn't like to stand alone. Just a *****y mare with no manners basically. My friend did pay fuel. Mare is just fine in the trailer. I most likely won't be hauling her or anyone else for quite some time.

It would be nice if she offered to help pay for the deductible that is for sure.  But let's turn it around and if you all were involved in a wreck (and you were at fault) and the friend's horse was badly injured or even killed would you be willing to pay all the vet bills or pay your friend the value of the horse?  Even if it was a $75,000 horse?  I know my truck and trailer insurance does not cover what I am hauling.  This is not particularly addressed to the OP but to everyone saying she needs to pay for the damages no matter what.  Not meaning to steal the thread but this made me very curious.

The horse is insured so I'm assuming if she was injured or killed in a wreck my friend would get some kind of compensation. I think anytime you put a horse in a trailer and head down the road that is a risk... Its different than a horse damaging a trailer because of bad "known" behaviors. She should have had hobbles and kick chains on... But that's another story. It's a lesson learned for me. If she doesn't pay I guess that is that, I won't be hauling outside horses anymore in my own trailer. For the longer hauls when splitting fuel helps I'll jump in with someone else. I do appreciate all the info and replies on this thread though. Very interesting to see some people say "**** happens" while others say "she should pony up the dough" all kinds of kinds :)
